People Change Everyday....

Hey dad

but wow fishman got his eagle hayden will be home and i will still be serving! that sounds like a great month to me. Hey it sounds like you have a lot of work to do, people need to realize that this gospel is a gospel of change. people change every day in order to partake of the blessings and align their ways with the lords ways. if there is not change in the boundaries of the churches that means that the member are not doing there jobs. but that is so great! it made my day when i heard that! the work is great, the people here are really nice, we are taken care of for thanksgiving, we are working on a few families, dealing with unexpected problems like unmarried with 3 kids and polygamists. haha who would have thought right? i love ya dad have a great week!! Love Elder Cache Summers

Hey momma!! that is so cool about the new wards! it is gonna be weird coming home and seeing all of the changes, but i wouldnt want it any other way, the church needs to grow so that the lord can come back, so many people are slipping through the cracks. wow mom this life goes by so fast! he doesnt even know what hit him, i bet he still feels like a brand new missoinary. haha i know that i do still. my understanding of this gospel is so much better than it was but i still feel small compared to my mental image of a missionary :) Can you believe that in a matter of months it will an entire year that i have been out? that is so crazy! I went on exchanges with the sign language assigned missionary and we taught 2 deaf lessons. haha let me tell you that was awkward! :) your facal expressions are part of how you talk, and they cant hear themselves, so they grunt and moan when they talk! and the kids started to fight and that was so funny!! they were agressively signing to each other :) really better go now! have a great week i love you.

I Think I Am a Doctrine Nerd....

thanks dad, it is great to here about home.. I still remember passing Tracy going to work and he had his shoes and socks off and had his foot up on the dash and he was all kicked back driving on the icy highway! haha that was really funny. I love the people here ! there are so many people that take care of us. i have been here so long that people are now joking with me and almost treating me like i am a permanent part of their stake. it is so nice being a dilligent missionary. the people always can tell if we are working hard or not, and it is so nice when they know that you work hard. there has been so many times that people here have given me somebody to go talk to because they trust me to do this work. and you are way too right. the mission is going by really really fast. these last 9 months have felt like a dream. it goes by in a matter of blinks. I have learned not ever to waste any time. i hear about missonaries that slack off and dont work hard, and for them it is a miserable time. but for those who just put their shoulder to the wheel the time just scoots right on by, i think that is a tender mercy of the Lord i think this is going to be the first time that i will be moved. i am excited. anyways i better go, i love you dad. have a great week! Ill talk to you next week!  love Elder Cache Summers

Hey momma!! but one thing that bugs me is everybody says and thinks that we have FREE agency, but was agency free? Was it free when Adam used it to trangress? haha nope, so our president taught us this, for every choice there is a consequence, and for every action there is a reaction. if you look at D&C 101:78 it says "according to the MORAL agency which I have given unto him" our freedom to choose, and saying free agency are 2 completely different things. yes we have the freedom to use our moral agency whenever and however we want, but we cannot use free agency because it doesn’t exist :) anyways sorry for the tangent. i hope that that makes sense, and in the scriptures it talks about agency and how it is and came to be and that is in 2 nephi 2, i love the scriptures momma!! as for people getting offended, they are using that moral agency to hurt only themselves. i really don’t like when people think that they get offended at church. i think people should just man up and get over it. Christ offended people, he told them how it is, we should be able to take it and learn :) as you can see i havent changed too much :) I am still very opinionated, but hey the mission is going great, i do honestly feel like I’m am converted to this gospel, i know too much to ever be able to fall away, and people can tell when you are converted or not.

 what it means to be truly converted is when you literally would do what the Savior would, and the better understanding you have of the atonement the more converted you are :) sorry mom i have learned so much about the gospel. :) i think i am becoming a doctrine nerd :) I love you!

Satan Tempts You More Than Ever...

Hey momma!! the year before you go is for sure the hardest time in your life, satan tempts you more than ever, hey mom the gospel is so amazing, the book of mormon is a book of miracles and it is magic. I have learned so much about the scriptures from studying them every day! i would almost consider myself a scripture nerd :) anyways i better get back to the work and get my president an email! I love you mom!!love Elder Cache Summers
